We Have Many Ways to Cool Your Home If You Need a New AC System

Welcome to the May Message from Kerry. We love May for all the beauty it brings – flowers and trees blossoming, birds chirping and longer, milder days. We also love all the fun holidays there are in May including our favorite, Mother’s Day. Maybe you’ve never really thought about it, but the gift of home comfort can be a perfect gift for the mom who has everything. We can help you give your mom a new ductless system, preventive maintenance or a brand-new high-efficiency central air system. And right now through June 30, you can save on your gift with Carrier Cool Cash – it’s a win-win for you and your mom!

Have you scheduled your spring preventive maintenance appointment with us yet? If not, give us a call and we’ll be happy to get you an appointment – but hurry because slots are filling up fast! Preventive maintenance is important! Have you been thinking about adding air conditioning to a space in your home, but you’re worried about installing ductwork? You might want to consider high velocity air conditioning – is it right for your home?

We hope your May is an absolutely wonderful one.

Thanks for reading!

Spring Time is Here! Get Ready for Warmer Days With an AC Tune Up

Welcome to the April edition of our Message from Kerry. We hope that those of you who celebrate Easter had a wonderful holiday, and wish the same to our readers who celebrate Passover. One thing we are thankful for is the return of warmer days. This winter was one for the record books, so we’re happy to have spring return once again.

Have you scheduled your spring preventive maintenance appointment with us yet? If not, give us a call and we’ll be happy to get you an appointment – but hurry because slots are filling up fast! And, if you’re in the market for new AC this spring, now is the time to get in touch with us. Carrier Cool Cash is available now through June 30, 2015. Don’t miss your chance at saving on a high-efficiency Carrier system.

Did you know… you can have a worry-free spring season when you choose annual maintenance from us? Or maybe you need new air conditioning this spring – if your current unit is 10 years or more, it might be time to think about replacing. Another air conditioning option is ductless cooling – a great option if you want to cool an area of your home where ductwork is impractical or impossible!

We hope you have a great April, and that all those showers bring you May flowers!

Thanks for reading!

Need Heating & Air Conditioning for Your Long Island, NY Business? Count on T.F. O’Brien

Posted on by T.F. O'Brien Cooling & Heating

We are a Leading Commercial HVAC Company on Long Island

One of the most important behind-the-scenes players at your business or organization isn’t a person – it’s your commercial heating and cooling system. If your system is working well, the chances are pretty good that your employees take their comfort for granted. But did you know that if your system isn’t working that great, it could result in reduced productivity? Making sure your commercial space is adequately heated in the winter and cooled in the summer is one of the simplest ways you can help your employees feel good about coming to work. When you need help with your commercial heating system or your commercial air conditioning, you can rely on T.F. O’Brien to help you.

We’re a business ourselves, so we know how important it is to employees that they’re able to work in a comfortable environment. In fact, in a study conducted by the national research firm Reed Elsevier Group PLC, businesses with better indoor climate conditions see increased productivity among employees, as well as increased potential for monetary gain. The study found that, generally, the salaries of workers in commercial buildings in the United States exceed a building’s operating costs by a factor of 100 – and overall, improved working efficiency could yield U.S. businesses between $20 and $200 billion. But how can you know if your commercial air conditioning system or your commercial heating unit is doing its job?

Getting commercial heating and cooling maintenance from a qualified HVAC contractor is probably the best way you can be sure your system is running as it should be, and keeping your building at the optimal level of comfort for your employees and your clients alike. When you have an annual maintenance plan, your commercial heating and cooling system will get the service it needs to keep running its best twice yearly (once for your heating system, once for cooling). Commercial heating and cooling tune-ups are designed to keep your system running at maximum efficiency, and working at top condition. When you know your commercial system is operating at its best, you’ll also know your employees are comfortable.

At T.F. O’Brien Cooling & Heating, we’re pleased to offer businesses and organizations throughout the Long Island, NY area the commercial heating and air conditioning services they need in order to help their employees enjoy year-round comfort.

We’ve been helping companies with their commercial HVAC needs for more than 80 years because we believe that keeping customers satisfied is the best way to do business.

Go Duct-Free in your Long Island, NY Home

Learn How a Ductless System Can Help You Heat a Room or Outbuilding

If you’ve converted a basement into a living space, built an addition, or have a sun porch you’d like to use year-round, you probably know comfort in those rooms can be an issue. But, it can be hard to heat or cool these areas of your Long Island, NY home because they lack ductwork, making it difficult to tie your home comfort system into those spaces. You might not like the look – or the inconvenience – of bulky window AC units, and you might be concerned about the safety issues attached to space heaters. So what can you do to make those spaces of your home without ductwork more livable?

If your home is lacking ductwork, or there’s a particular room in your house that is too warm or cold, a ductless heating and cooling system is the perfect solution. You might be thinking ductless isn’t right for your Long Island, NY home because it isn’t as inconspicuous as heating and cooling with ducts, but that’s a common misconception. Ductless systems work well as long as your space has walls and a ceiling, as the units are mounted up in a high spot on the wall to fully circulate the air to all corners of the room.

And, with ductless, you won’t have a bulky system hanging out of your window like you would with a window AC unit, or a unit taking up an outlet and sitting in the middle of your room like you would with a space heater.  Even better, ductless heating and cooling systems provide all the efficiency of a standard HVAC system, but because of the lack of ductwork, they’re quiet and tucked out of the way.

Aside from their inconspicuous nature, there are several other advantages to installing a ductless system in your home. Here are just a few additional reasons why you might want to choose ductless heating and cooling options for your Long Island, NY home:

Better Comfort: Ductless systems are made to move cooled and heated air efficiently and evenly through your room. Just one unit can heat and cool a fairly large living space, which makes them a perfect choice for homes with open floor plans.

Energy Savings: Ductless systems are much more efficient than space heaters and window AC units, and even provide better efficiency than electric heat in many instances. You’ll save money on your utility bills when you choose to go ductless.

Heating & Cooling Combo: You’ll be comfortable all year round when you install a ductless heating and cooling system. Your system will offer AC when you need it during those sweltering summer months, and heat when the temperatures outside turn chilly.

No Messy Construction: Because your ductless system doesn’t require invasive ductwork installation, you’ll be able to enjoy hassle-free home comfort quickly, and without the need for a messy remodeling project.

Better Indoor Air Quality: Ductless cooling and heating systems offer improved filtration, meaning dust, pollen, germs, mildew and odors are better mitigated, and fresh, healthier air is circulated around your home.

At T.F. O’Brien, we understand that not all homes are created equal and that’s why we want to make sure you have the best fit for your heating and cooling systems. Being in the industry for 80 years, our team is skilled and qualified to handle all services dealing with ductless ac and heating, which is why we provide a full range of services for the ductless system in your Long Island, NY home, including:

So whether you are looking for an effective and aesthetic option for your house to stay cool in the hot months and keep warm when the weather gets chilly, or ductwork is just improbable in your Long Island, NY home, a ductless system is the right solution for you. Count on T.F. O’Brien to get you set up with the system that works best for your home by calling 516.488.1800 and setting up an appointment with one of our technicians today.
